Ummm.... Have you ever used a screw? Bottle cap? "Right tighty, lefty loosey"? A car wheel when going forward? Literally 99% of things tighten clockwise.

You're the person people have to say "no, your other left" a lot to, aren't ya?

Also 99% of things loosen anticlockwise. So why preffer tighten over loosen?

Tighten = on/activated. You use a cap buy putting it on to seal the container. You out a screw in to join the wood. You do the thing it's meant to do in a clockwise fashion.

What's the purpose of a cap? To keep things in. The purpose of the spout itself is to let them in.

Clockwise wins.

The purpose of a cap is to both open and close the lid. A seal is usually used to keep it tight

The purpose of the cap is to BE the lid. Otherwise it's a bottle.

*Be the lid that opens as well as close

Not just to close
